Thor Thorleifson of Morden Area Foundation, Pat Plett, and Barb Westfall after a recent grant presentation

 

The application deadline for Morden Area Foundation is fast approaching.

Executive Director Thor Thorleifson says they need to be in by Friday, April 9th.

Thorleifson notes the applicants need to be a registered charity or municipal government.

He adds if someone else has an idea that will help the community, and wants to apply, they need to team up with one of those.

Thorleifson says the Foundation has a collection of permanently endowed funds, and the grants they award come from the earnings of those funds.

Last fall they approved $11,630 in grants.

They will be looking at  granting a similar amount this spring.
